Pole 125515
Tehachapi, California · Kern County
Overview
The FCC lists structure 125515 about 10 km (6.3 mi) from Tehachapi, CA as a pole. Overall height above ground is 33 m, or 107 ft.
The median pole in California is 19 m tall across 1,502 registrations, so this one sits 72.5% above the typical height for its type.
Registration is held by American Towers LLC, which owns 2 of the structures registered in Tehachapi, CA.
At 33 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 24 km (14.6 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 878 m, the nearest 6 m to the WSW.
The site lies 10 km (6.3 mi) outside Tehachapi, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record
A pole of unspecified construction.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 125515, which gives a construction date of 1960. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
